Rusty (who is no longer on the forum) used a plastic drum with 1/2 of the top cut out. After the leach is complete, place the leach and material in the drum and then place a terry cloth towel in the open hole where the towel hangs below the drum when its laid on its side. Of course the drum needs to be elevated. Place a catch pan under the towel. The liquid will "wick" out of the solids and drip from the towel. It's slow but it leaves the solids in the drum and the liquid is removed. Wicking is largely overlooked but it is a great way to drain liquids from ultra fine material.
